Collages!
If you’re following me on instagram, you are probably aware of the existence of some of these new collaged pieces - but I haven’t really talked about them much other than, “here it is”.
Right now I’m leaning hard into the preservation of certain moments and the destruction of others, and the building/layering/sculpting of something entirely new.
I’m entranced with the physicality of the process, the trial and error, the cutting of the paper, the choosing of pieces and discarding of others, the glue on literally everything, and the final reveal that is nothing like the original pieces and nothing like the plan I had set for it.
It is a truthful embodiment of the merging of planned and unplanned.
That’s partially because that is exactly how they came to be, and partially because I haven’t figured it out yet.
I haven’t listed these for sale just yet.
When I work on something new I like to share it in person first and talk to people who are interested in the work. I’ve been showing these in person during the Rostrum 312 gallery event in Chicago and the Vyshyvanka Day auction last month, but will be preparing them for sale on the purchase section of my site soon. I’m so excited to share these experiments with you.
Make sure you’re on the email list to find out when they go live.
